We regret to advise of the death of Sapper Arthur Albert Desautels (Ret’d) at the Deer Lodge Centre in Winnipeg MB on 26 January 2009 at the age of 86 years.

Arthur enlisted in the Royal Canadian Engineers at the age of 17 years.  He was a veteran of the Second World War and served overseas.  After the war, he returned home and worked first as a miner in Ontario, then as an auto mechanic in St. Jean Baptiste and Keewatin, ON. He later settled in St. Vital, MB.  Arthur was a member of the Royal Canadian Legion Branch #100 in Winnipeg.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to a charity of individual choice. ^{{dcFeb18gd} [zsd, zcc, zpp, zbd]}
